摘要:This research aims to study the relationship between the member ́s heterogeneity and capital structure and profitability in cooperative organizations. The database was built with 199 Colombian non-financial cooperatives between 2009-2013. The main finding is that variations in the socio-economic heterogeneity of associates affect long-term capital structure by 23%, short-term capital structure by 13% and profitability by 6%. It is concluded that the principle of people' free entry and exit from organizations with collective property and democratic governance affects the organization's financial indicators.
